Build your own robot. Not the evil killer kind that scientists like building, but a cool robot buddy for your desk. You can assemble this DIY robot from a kit from laser-cut wood pieces. He looks super cool.

I’ve seen a few programs take advantage of the new MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar already, but most of them are there to do something useful. How boring. What you need is to upgrade your MacBook Pro into the KITT 2000, the hyperintelligent car from the 1980s TV series, Knight Rider.

Lots of people have ugly sweater parties each year and compete to see who can find the ugliest sweater of the night. I don’t think you would win in this Fallout Holiday Fleece Sweater, because this thing is awesome.

When my daughter was three or four, I got her one of those pink Barbie Power Wheels Mustangs. I think I will remember until my dying day how she would throw that thing into drive and fly out of the driveway sideways.

Just a couple of days ago, I mentioned the Selk’bag Darth Vader wearable sleeping bag and how cool it was. I’d be so pissed right now if I had bought that Vader bag, because this Chewbacca one is infinitely cooler.

A Jeep Wrangler is about as aerodynamic as a brick, has terrible fuel economy, and isn’t that comfortable compared to other cars in its price range. It’s also about 100x more awesome than just about any other SUV out there.

Being a Roomba is pretty depressing. You just roll along, picking up dirt for your whole life, never getting a thank you, never getting a pat on the back, but always getting a charge so you can continue on with your hellish existence.

I’ve talked about the Selk’bag wearable sleeping bag before and thought it might be perfect for those people you know who are always cold. The catch with the first version we saw was that it only came in boring solid colors.

It’s probably safe to say that the least liked character in the Fallout 4 realm is Preston Garvey. He’s super annoying. His laser musket is also super lame. I mean there are weapons everywhere and he keeps using a freaking musket you have to crank to load.

If you own the adorable Cozmo robot, you will soon be able to have it interact with your pets. By that, I mean more than just the getting its tracks clogged with pet hair. An upgrade is scheduled to roll out during the week of December 5th that will add new functionality to this tiny robot, which includes reactions to dog and cats.

Drones are great for filming aerial videos and the like, but what else can we make them do? Well, for one thing they could help with making your Thanksgiving dinner. Autel Robotics proves that it can work.

I admit to being many, many years behind on Harry Potter. I only started watching the movies this last weekend because I ran out of episodes of Westworld and got bored. It turns out the flicks are actually pretty good, and I am almost done with the series.

I had forgotten just how much I really loved The X-Files back in the day until I watched the very short reboot series earlier this year. I really hope Fox brings the show back again. If you want to relive some of that early X-Files glory, you will want to collect some of these X-Files Titans mini-figures.

Check out this elaborate LEGO Mindstorms miniature factory. It is a real working factory in miniature, where minifigs can slave away for sub-par wages as they sweat and toil. It takes about three minutes to perform just one task: making a tiny folded paper cube.

You’re so vain. I bet you think this drone is about you. It is! This is the AirSelfie. It is a tiny drone made specifically for taking selfies. No more selfie sticks. Just you and your flying paparazzi snapping pics of your face.
